ENGINE OIL COOLER INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY


    1. Clean the oil cooler contact surface on the cooler mounting.

    2. Apply a light coat of engine oil to 3 new gaskets.

    3. Install the 3 new gaskets to the oil cooler assembly.

    4. Temporarily install the oil cooler assembly with the union bolt, nut and a new seal washer.

  3. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new engine oil and install the oil filler cap.

      Standard Oil Grade
      Oil Grade Oil Viscosity (SAE)

      • API grade SL "Energy-Conserving", SM "Energy-Conserving", SN "Resource-Conserving" or ILSAC multigrade engine oil

      • 0W-20

      • 5W-20

      • 5W-30

      • 10W-30
      API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil

      • 15W-40

      • 20W-50
      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      Drain and refill (with oil filter change) 4.4 liters (4.6 US qts, 3.9 Imp. qts)
      Drain and refill (without oil filter change) 4.0 liters (4.2 US qts, 3.5 Imp. qts)
      Dry fill 5.3 liters (5.6 US qts, 4.7 Imp. qts)

  4. ADD ENGINE COOLANT


    1. Tighten the radiator drain cock plug by hand.

    2. Slowly fill the radiator with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC).

      Standard Capacity
      7.1 liters (7.5 US qts, 6.2 lmp. qts)

      Tech Tips

      TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

      Note

      Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.

      *1 Full Line

      Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir tank until it reaches the full line.

    4. Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.

      If the coolant level is low, add coolant.

    5. Bleed air from the cooling system.


      1. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.

        Tech Tips

        The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by squeezing the No. 2 radiator hose by hand, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.

      2. Maintain the engine speed at 2500 to 3000 rpm.

      3. Squeeze the inlet and No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air.

        CAUTION:

        When squeezing the radiator hoses:


        • Wear protective gloves.

        • Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.

        • Keep your hands away from the cooling fans.

        Note


        • Make sure that the radiator reservoir still has some coolant in it.

        • If the coolant temperature gauge indicates an excessive temperature, turn off the engine and let it cool.

        • If there is not enough coolant, the engine may overheat or be seriously damaged.

        • If the radiator reservoir does not have enough coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) add coolant until the reservoir is filled to the full line.

    6. Stop the engine and wait until the engine coolant cools down.

    7. Add engine coolant to the full line on the radiator reservoir.

  5. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


    1. Warm up the engine. Make sure that there are no engine oil leaks from the area that was worked on.

  6. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up and stop the engine, then wait for 5 minutes.

    2. Check that the engine oil level is between the low level and full level marks on the engine oil level dipstick.

      If the level is low, check for engine oil leaks and add engine oil to the full level mark.

      Note

      Do not fill to above the full level mark.

      Tech Tips

      A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.


      • When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.

      • If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.

      • When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load (when towing, etc.), or when accelerating or decelerating frequently while driving.

      • When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
